A review by Meche Kroop of Cantanti Project's production of Orlando (The National Opera Center, February 19, 2017):

Nothing gladdens our heart more than seeing a "Sold Out" sign at the opera. No, opera is not dying in NYC, but it is taking new forms. [...] Director Brittany Goodwin thought seriously about the silly plot and came up with an interpretation that worked just fine. Obviously a lot of teamwork went into this tight ensemble piece and it worked well. With astute understanding that this tale is one of delusion and obsession, she has placed the action in the psychiatric ward of a mental hospital [...] As Dorinda, we heard soprano Joyce Yin herself. (She, along with Laura Mitchell and Sam Fujii, founded Cantanti Project three years ago.) Her character gets a lot of gorgeous arias, our favorite of which was the arioso "Quando spieghi tuoi tormenti" in which she bids farewell to her sylvan home, including the nightingales, like which she sounded.

When your friend models like a graceful #goddess and you're the dweeb in the knee brace 😂. So glad we found each other in this city @saralinyoder 💕 #friendship

One really should not commit to learning a Bach piece in less than a week without looking at the score first because #chromatics 👀 .
